Zaozhuang's Three Initiative Will Boost Foreign Trade Growth

Under the background of deep transformation of domestic economy and slow recovery of international economy, China's foreign trade is also facing great challenges. Zaozhuang, Shandong, thoroughly studied the international and domestic situation, excavated potential and introduced measures to promote stable growth of foreign trade.

First is to strengthen policy support. We should formulate relevant policies to support the development of common technology R & D and public service platform projects for key export enterprises with an annual export volume of more than US $5 million. For small and micro enterprises with an export volume of less than 1 million US dollars, the export insurance premium will be borne by the financial department, and the maximum premium of 200 thousand yuan will be given to enterprises that export more than 1 million US dollars. Subsidies for exhibitors of overseas exhibitions at key organizations in Zaozhuang will be subsidized, and financial rewards will be given to enterprises that have won "international famous brands" at the national and provincial levels.

The two is strengthening. Policy service 。 42 joint import and export enterprises' package service system and joint conference system for foreign trade work have been set up, and a medium and long-term training plan for foreign trade has been formulated. We will comprehensively promote the convenient regulatory measures for cross border trade providers, such as "classified management, convenient access" and "inventory release and summary declaration". All exit goods, means of transport, containers and other statutory inspection and quarantine items for inspection shall be exempted from the exit inspection and quarantine fees. Reduce commercial banks foreign exchange The entry threshold for derivatives is to relax the qualification requirements for small and medium banks to set up long-term foreign exchange settlement and sale business. The main indicators to promote the steady growth of foreign trade are integrated into the comprehensive index system of scientific development in Zaozhuang, and the steering group of foreign trade development is set up to supervise and inspect the implementation of foreign trade development and policies.

The three is to expand. Credit aid 。 Innovating foreign trade financial products, strengthening credit support by issuing credit loans, discounting bills, negotiating loans and external guarantees. Carry out export tax rebate custody account, export credit insurance policy, accounts receivable, equity, orders, warehouse receipts and other loans (Qualitative) loan financing. To guide enterprises to achieve multi-channel financing through overseas banks' RMB loans, related party loans and cross-border RMB guarantee.

In the first 2 months of 2015, Shantou's import and export value to ASEAN was 1 billion 830 million yuan, up 5.7% over the same period last year. Of them, exports were 1 billion 100 million yuan, an increase of 16.8%, and imports of 730 million yuan, a decrease of 7.5%, accounting for 21.3% of the total import and export value of Shantou in the same period.

Data show that private enterprises are the backbone of Shantou's trade with ASEAN. In the 2010-2014 year, the total import and export value of Shantou's private enterprises to ASEAN was 33 billion 850 million yuan, accounting for 72.6% of the total value of Shantou's imports and exports to ASEAN in the same period, with an average annual growth rate of 18.8%, accounting for 79.7% from the 64.5% in 2010 to 79.7% in 2014. Over the same period, the status of the general trade mode has been increasing. Shantou has increased the total import and export volume of ASEAN by 37 billion 360 million yuan in general trade mode, with an average annual growth rate of 17.2%, representing a further increase from 75.2% in 2010 to 87.9% in 2014. The import and export status of foreign investment enterprises and processing trade patterns showed a downward trend.

From the point of view of trade commodity structure, since 2010, toys and textiles and clothing have always maintained the top 2 export commodities to ASEAN in Shantou, accounting for about 5 of the total two, and Shantou accounts for about 2 of the export of electromechanical products to ASEAN. On the import side, the proportion of primary plastic products as the main import commodities increased from 39% in 2010 to 49.6% in 2014, indicating that the downstream industries such as toys developed faster in Shantou, and the other main imports were coal and lignite, which maintained a positive growth for 5 consecutive years.

Customs analysis shows that although ASEAN trade leads Shantou's foreign trade, the challenges and opportunities still exist in the future. On the one hand, some of the main economic entities in ASEAN are large, small and scattered, and their economic development is greatly influenced by external environment. In recent years, capital flight, stock market decline and financial market turbulence have a more obvious impact on ASEAN economy. At the same time, ASEAN countries have great differences in policy environment, port clearance and other aspects, which will increase the difficulty and risk of "going out". On the other hand, in March 28th, the national development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of foreign affairs and the Ministry of Commerce jointly issued the "vision and action to promote the construction of the Silk Road Economic Belt and the maritime Silk Road in twenty-first Century", and put forward "strengthening the port construction of 15 cities in Shanghai, Tianjin, Shantou, Qingdao and other coastal areas". It clears up the important node status of Shantou in the "one belt and one road", and coordinates with the construction of the overseas Chinese economic and cultural cooperation experimental area. Shantou will have more "articles" to ASEAN trade.

The Shantou customs will respond to local development needs, focus on implementing the "three mutual" and promote the construction of large customs clearance, and steadily promote the reform of regional customs integration, customs inspection cooperation, "three one", no customs clearance and other reform projects, promote customs clearance, and further strengthen port management, do business support work, and strengthen Customs Statistics services, so as to promote Shantou's foreign trade development.
